EXPLANATION OF TERMS. 

Scope of census.— Section 32 of the act providing for the Fourteenth Decennial Census authorizes and 
directs the collection and publication, for the years 1921, 1923, 1925, and 1927, and for every tenth year 
after each of those years, of statistics of the products of manufacturing industries. (The decennial censuses 
will cover the years 1929, 1939, etc.) Detailed censuses of manufacturing industries were taken decennially 
prior to 1899 and have been taken quinquennially beginning with the canvass for that year. 

The scope of the biennial inquiry has been considerably, restricted as compared with the quinquennial 
census, this restriction having been necessary in the interest of economy in both time and expense. The 
items of information secured at the quinquennial censuses but omitted at the biennial census are: Cap- 
ital, sex and age distribution of employees, rent and taxes, primary horsepower, and kind and quantity 
of fuel used. The biennial census, like the quinquennial censuses, does not cover establishments which 
were idle during the entire year, nor the manufacturing done in educational, eleemosynary, or penal in- 
stitutions. This census excludes also establishments having products valued at less than $5,000 1 each, 
whereas the quinquennial censuses excluded only those whose value of products was less than $500. 

Area and period covered. — The canvass covered the 48 States and the District of Columbia. The returns 
relate to the calendar year 1921, or the business year which corresponded most nearly to that calendar 
year, and cover a year's operations, except for establishments which began or discontinued business within 
the year. 

The establishment. — As a rule, the term "establishment" represents a single plant or factory, but in 
some cases it represents two or more plants which were operated under a common ownership or for which 
one set of books of account was kept. If, however, the plants constituting an establishment as thus defined 
were not all located within the same city or State, separate reports were secured in order that the figures 
for each plant might be included in the statistics for the city or State in which it was located. In some 
instances separate reports were secured for different industries earned on in the same establishment. 

Classification by industries.— The establishments were assigned to the several classes of industries 
according to their products of chief value. The products reported for a given industry may thus, on the 
one hand, include minor products different from those covered by the class designation, and, on the other 
hand, may not represent in full the products covered by this designation, because some of this class of prod- 
ucts may be made in establishments in which they are not the products of chief value. 

Persons engaged in the industry.— In the case of employees other than wage earners, the number was 
reported for December 15, or the nearest representative day, which has been treated as equivalent to the 
average for the year, since the number of employees of this class does not ordinarily vary from month to 
month. In the case of wage earners a report was obtained of the number employed on the 15th of each 
month. From these figures the average number of wage earners for the year has been calculated by dividing 
the sum of the numbers reported for the several months by 12. The importance of the industry as an 
employer of labor is believed to be more accurately measured by this average than by the number employed 
on any given day. 

Capital (amount actually invested). — No data as to capital were collected at the census of 1921. The 
instructions on the schedules for 1919, 1914, and 1909 with reference to securing this class of data were as 
follows: 

' 'The answer should show the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, on the last day of the 
business year reported. All the items of fixed and live capital may be taken at the amounts carried on 
the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact should be stated and no value given. If a part of 
the land or bviildings is owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should be so stated and only the 
value of the owned property given. Do not include securities and loans representing investments in other 
enterprises." 

Salaries and wages.— Under these heads are given the total payments during the year for salaries and 
wages, respectively. The Census Bureau has not undertaken to calculate the average annual earnings of 
either salaried employees or wage earners. Such averages would possess little real value, because they 
would be based on the earnings of employees of both sexes, of all ages ; and of widely varying degrees of 
skill. Furthermore, so far as wage earners are concerned, it would be impossible to calculate accurately 
even so simple an average as this, since the number of wage earners fluctuates from month to month in 
every industry, and in some cases to a very great extent. The Census Bureau's figures for wage earners, 
as already explained, are averages based on the numbers employed on the 15th of each month, and while 
representing the number according to the pay rolls to whom wages were paid on that date, no doubt repre- 
sent a larger number than would be required to perform the work in any industry if all were continuously 
employed during the year. 

Cost of materials.— The statistics as to cost of materials relate to the materials used during the year, 
which may be more or less than the materials purchased during the year. The term "materials" covers 
fuel, rent of power and heat, mill supplies, and containers, as well as materials which form a constituent 
part of the product. 

Value of products.— The amounts given under this heading represent the selling value or price at the 
factory of all products manufactured during the year, which may differ from the value of the products 
sold. 

Value added by manufacture.— The value of products is not always a satisfactory measure of either 
the absolute or the relative importance of a given industry, because only a part of this value is actually 
created by the manufacturing processe s carried on i n the industry itself. Another part, and often by far 
thelarger one, represents the value of the materials used. For many purposes, therefore, the best measure 
of the importance of an industry, from a manufacturing standpoint, is the value created by the manufac- 
turing operations carried on within the industry. This value is calculated by deducting the cost of the 
materials used from the value of the products. The figure thus obtained is termed in the census reports 
"value added by manufacture." 

Influence of price changes.— In comparing figures for cost of materials, value of products, and value 
added by manufacture for 1921 with the corresponding figures for 1919 and earlier census years, account 
should be taken of the pronounced increases in the prices of most commodities between 1914 and 1919, and 
of the decreases in the prices of certain classes of commodities between 1919 and 1921. To the extent to 
which this factor has been influential, the figures fail to afford an exact measure of the increase or decrease 
in the volume of production. 

Cost of manufacture and profits.— The census data do not show the entire cost of manufacture, and 
consequently can not be used for the calculation of profits. No account has been taken of depreciation 
or interest, insurance, ordinary repairs, advertising, and other sundry expenses; and for 1921 data for 
rent and taxes, included at prior censuses, have also been omitted. 

1 Establishments with products valued at less than $5,000 were canvassed, but the returns are included 
only in the table showing size of establishments by value of products.

CANNING AND PRESERVING. 



INTRODUCTION. 

This report is one of the series presenting the results of the first biennial census of 
manufactures, which covered the operations of manufacturing establishments during 
the calendar year 1921. The most important of these statistics were published in 
the form of preliminary announcements or press summaries, under the dates of 
February 8, 1923 (pickles, preserves, and sauces), and May 10, 1923 (fruits and vege- 
tables, and fish and oysters) '. 

Description of the industry. — This industry is divided into four branches: (1) 
The canning and preserving of fruits, vegetables, and soups, and the "processing" 
and packing of dried fruits; (2) the canning or curing of fish, crabs, and shrimps; (3) 
the canning of oysters and clams; (4) the manufacture of pickles, preserves, jellies, 
sauces, etc. The products of branch 1 may be classified in four major groups, namely, 
canned vegetables and soups, canned fruits, dried fruits, and dried vegetables. The 
principal products of branch 2 are canned, pickled, smoked, and dried fish, and canned 
crabs and shrimps; of branch 3, canned oysters and clams; and of branch 4, canned 
pickles, sauces, salad dressings, mustards, catsup, etc. 

The industry does not include the canning of meats, soups, or other products by 
establishments engaged primarily in meat packing (classified in the slaughtering 
and meat-packing industry); the manufacture of condensed and evaporated milk, 
sweetening sirups, and peanut butter; the drying and packing of fruits on farms; nor 
the shucking and wholesale shipment of fresh oysters in unsealed containers. The 
production of canned goods by meat-packing establishments and the manufacture 
of condensed and evaporated milk, sweetening sirups (other than cane), and peanut 
butter are, however, shown in Table. 12. 

Assignment of establishments to industries. — In making use of the statistics in 
Tables 1 to 5, 14, and 15 it must be remembered that they relate to the operations of 
establishments which have been assigned to this industry because of the nature of 
their products of chief value. In some cases an establishment manufactures various 
classes of products, part of which pertain to one branch of this industry and part to 
another branch, and it may also manufacture products wholly foreign in character 
which normally belong to a different and wholly unrelated industry. Such an es- 
tablishment is assigned to the appropriate branch of this ind ustry or to another industry 
as the case may be, according to the nature of its products of chief value. The total 
value of products of the canning and preserving industry, therefore, includes the 
value of various subsidiary products other than canned goods (part of "All other 
products," Tables 7, 9, and 11), but does not include the value of canned goods reported 
as subsidiary products by establishments in other industries ("Subsidiary products, 
other industries," Table 9). Data for these subsidiary products of other industries 
are, however, included in Tables 7 to 12. As will be seen by reference to Tables 
7 and 9, the value of the "All other products'' of this industry and of the subsidiary 
canned goods reported by establishments in other industries * represents in each 
case only a fraction more than 1 per cent of the total value of products shown for the 
industry proper. 

Not including slaughtering and meat packing nor the manufacture of condensed and evaporated milk , 
- eetening sirups, and peanut butter. (See Table 12.)

4 CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES: 1921. 

Limitation of statistics to establishments reporting products valued at $5,000 or 
more. — The census statistics for 1921 relate only to establishments having products 
valued at $5,000 or more, whereas at prior censuses (decennial and quinquennial) 
the corresponding limit was $500. Data as to number of wage earners and value of 
products in 1921 were secured for establishments reporting products valued at $500 
or more but less than $5,000, but have not been included in this report except in 
Table 5. The omission of the data for these establishments, 451 in number, affects 
the industry totals for wage earners and value of products to the extent of only 1 per 
cent and three-tenths of 1 per cent, respectively, as will be seen by reference to 
Table 5. 

Omission of certain inquiries. — It was deemed necessary also to reduce the number 
of inquiries on the schedule for the biennial census by the omission of the following, 
which had been included at preceding censuses: Capital; sex and age distribution of 
employees; rent and taxes; primary horsepower; kind and quantity of fuel used. 

Comparison with previous years. — In Table 1 are given statistics for 1921 and for 
all preceding census years for which comparable data are available. The growth of 
the industry, as measured by value of products, was uninterrupted from 1889 to 1919, 
but the average number of wage earners declined somewhat from 1889 to 1904. The 
two-year period 1919-1921, however, shows a striking decline, amounting to 33.6 per 
cent for average number of wage earners and 36 per cent for value of products. This 
decline appears for all branches of the industry, being most pronounced for establish- 
ments engaged in canning and curing fish. The decrease in the production of canned 
fruits and vegetables was due in part to crop shortages and in part to the general 
industrial depression which prevailed in 1921. A considerable number of canneries 
were not operated at all during 1921, and others were operated at less than their usual 
capacity. 

State statistics. — State statistics are given in Tables 3, 4, 10, 11, and 14. In Table 3, 
which shows the relative importance of leading States, no presentation has been made 
for the industry as a whole, for the reason that it would be impossible to give figures 
for California, the leading State, and for certain other important States without dis- 
closing the operations of individual establishments. To illustrate: If the total value 
of products for California had been given, it would have been possible by addition and 
subtraction to ascertain the production of the two establishments engaged in oyster 
canning (footnote 5, p. 27). This would have enabled anyone knowing the produc- 
tion of either of these establishments to calculate exactly the value of products reported 
by the other. 

The statistics for quantities and values of products in Tables 10 and 11 also cover all 
States for which separate figures may properly be shown. In some cases it has been 
possible to combine and present the data for a number of establishments in " All other 
States " ; but in other cases this could not have been done without disclosing the values 
of products reported by individual establishments. For example: Small amounts of 
canned salmon were reported by two establishments in California, and if the combined 
output of these establishments had been shown as an "All other States" item in 
Table 10 it would have been possible for anyone knowing that only two establish- 
ments in continental United States outside Washington and Oregon reported canned 
salmon, and knowing the production of either establishment to calculate the value of 
products for the other. In cases like this, therefore, it has been necessary to include 
in "All other products" (Tables 7, 9, and 11) certain small values of products which 
could not be shown separately without disclosing the operations of individual estab- 
lishments in certain States. The amounts thus included are, however, insignificant 
in comparison with the United States totals for the respective products. 



CANNING AND PRESERVING. 

Sizes of cans and cases. — Table 6 shows the dimensions and approximate capacities 
of the principal sizes of cans in use. These dimensions and capacities were obtained 
from the National Canners' Association and are those agreed upon by the conference 
committee of that association and the National Wholesale Grocers' Association as 
complying with the State and national pure-food laws. The volume and weight of 
contents given allow for "reasonable tolerances"; that is to say, they represent not 
the maximum capacity of the cans, but what they actually contain when filled in the 
usual manner. The figures relate to the ■''sanitary - ' (open-top) cans, which in some 
cases differ slightly in size from the "hole-and-cap'' variety. 

In Table 7. in the second column of Table S, and in Tables 9, 10, 11, and 12. the 
quantities of the several classes of canned products are given in standard cases of the 
capacities indicated in footnote 1. Table 6. 

Quantities and values of products. — Statistics showing the quantities, and in most 
cases the values, of the several classes and kinds of canned goods which are treated as 
primary products of the canning and preserving industry (including those reported as 
subsidiary products by establishments in other industries) are given in Tables 7 to 11, 
inclusive; and in Table 12 is shown the production, in various industries, of all classes 
of canned goods, so far as reported separately, including meats, evaporated and con- 
densed milk, and other canned food products not belonging to the canning and pre- 
serving industry. 

The item "All other products'" in Tables 7, 9, and 11 is made up in part of certain 
small values of products belonging to the industry which were included in this group 
in order to avoid disclosing the operations of individual establishments in certain 
States Tsee " State statistics." p. 4), but consists mainly of subsidiary products foreign 
in character to the primary products of the canning and preserving industry; for ex- 
ample, vinegar, fish oil, and fertilizer materials. The inclusion of this item in Tables 
7, 9. and 11 and its exclusion from Table 12 accounts for the difference between the 
total value of products shown in Tables 7, 9, and 11 and the subtotal given in Table 12 
for the canning and preserving industry. 

Alaskan production. — The statistics presented in Tables 1 to 12. 14, and 15 relate 
to the operations of establishments in continental United States, exclusive of Alaska. 
The production of canned salmon in Alaska is. however, .of great importance, and 
accordingly a special table (Table 16) showing the output of the Alaskan fisheries has 
been prepared. From this table it will be seen that the production of canned salmon 
in Alaska in 1921 and in 1919 was nearly double, and in 1914 was considerably more 
than double, that reported for continental United States (Table 9). This accounts 
for the large exports of salmon (Table 13), which in 1919 greatly exceeded and in 1921 
and 1914 nearly equaled in value the production in continental United States.
